    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 231-242, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000040
    Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) empower the reflection of the environment with an extraordinary resolve. These systems are combination of several minuscule squat-cost, and stumpy-power on-chip transceiver sensing motes. Characteristically, a sensing device comprises of four key gears: an identifying element for data attainment, a microcontroller for native data dispensation, a message component to permit the broadcast/response of data to/from additional associated hardware, and lastly, a trivial energy source. Near field frequency series and inadequate bandwidth of transceiver device drags to multi-stage data transactions at minimum achievable requirements.

    Abstract Density estimation via Gaussian mixture modelling has been successfully applied to image segmentation. In this paper, we have learned distributions mixture model to the pixel of an iris image as training data. We introduce the proposed algorithm by adapting the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. To further improve the accuracy for iris segmentation, we consider the EM algorithm in Markovian and non Markovian cases. Simulated data proves the accuracy of our algorithm. The proposed method is tested on a subset of the CASIA database by Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Automation-IrisTwins. The obtained results have shown More >

    Image Classification Using Optimized MKL for SSPM

    Lu Wu, Quan Liu, Ping Lou
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 249-257, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000010
    Abstract The scheme of spatial pyramid matching (SPM) causes feature ambiguity near dividing lines because it divides an image into different scales in a fixed manner. A new method called soft SPM (sSPM) is proposed in this paper to reduce feature ambiguity. First, an auxiliary area rotating around a dividing line in four orientations is used to correlate the feature relativity. Second, sSPM is performed to combine these four orientations to describe the image. Finally, an optimized multiple kernel learning (MKL) algorithm with three basic kernels for the support vector machine is applied. Specifically, for each More >

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 319-327, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2019.100000093
    Abstract In this study, a systematic data-driven adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) modelling methodology is proposed. The new methodology employs an unsupervised competitive learning scheme to build an initial ANFIS structure from input-output data, and a high-performance PSO-LSE method is developed to improve the structure and to identify the consequent parameters of ANFIS model. This proposed modelling approach is evaluated using several nonlinear systems and is shown to outperform other modelling approaches.

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 351-358, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2019.100000096
    Abstract A modified Viterbi scoring procedure is presented in this paper based on Dijkstra’s shortest-path algorithm. In HMM-based speech recognition systems, the Viterbi scoring plays a significant role in finding the best matching model, but its computational complexity is linearly proportional to the number of reference models and their states. Therefore, the complexity is serious in implementing a high-speed speech recognition system. In the proposed method, the Viterbi scoring is translated into the searching of a minimum path, and the shortest-path algorithm is exploited to decrease the computational complexity while preventing the recognition accuracy from deteriorating.
